Kentucky a 2 pt favorite game thread
- Thread starter PlaidandParquet
- Start date
Likely because the championship game gets played around noon on Sunday. So the 1 seed has a consistent start time. The bottom bracket with the 2/3 seed will have a turnaround of less than 24 hours (6pm or later to 2pm) going into the Sat game and again going into the Sunday champ game (2pm to noon).
I know it is only halftime, but MissStake is crushing UK in the first half. I would much rather play UK than MissStake. We do not match up against the Stake front line. In the last game they drove the ball to the rack every time down court and played put it back in until they scored. Any team with a good front line is going to give us a load of problems. Of course this time we will have a reasonably healthy Bruner and Gary, which we did not have last game. I think MissStake is one of the three most athletic teams in the SEC and may be as good as us in that regards, they just don't have our depth.
Kentucky's one and doner's are done after today. I look for Coach Cal to reconsider his reliance on one and dones after this years fiasco.

Didn't see UK getting crushed in this game. If anything I would have thought the opposite would be the case. The worst season for the cats since 1980s probation years. Looking at the box score it seems Boston has been invisible for the cats today and not much from any of their starters other than Mintz. They must have mentally mailed it in for the year already.
MSU will be a tough out for us and will make us work outside our comfort zone unless we're shooting over 50% from 3 point range.

I didn't see that comeback happening, but then Kentucky ran out of gas. I don't know why the Kentucky player settled for the three point shot rather than driving to the basket. Good things happen when you go to the basket. Settling for a 27 foot three point shot with two seconds to play is not the smart play.
Well MissStake is a very physical team and they gave us fits both games. This will be a tough opener for us. I just hope we do not get beat up badly. They almost cost us a season in the first game we met.
